Parent teaching plan · 36 weeksUnits to teach or revisit
Chapter 2 · Poetry, Drama & Longer Reading
Assigned readings
Parent teaching schedule: assign the linked chapter and unit lessons alongside sustained reading and writing. Week numbers organize pacing; student lesson names remain Chapter / Unit.
This week’s goals
- Character change: establish accurate understanding.
- A justified decision: explain the relationship between evidence and a claim.
- A 300-word analysis: assess independence and set a next step.
Read Incident of Dr. Lanyon, Incident at the Window, and The Last Night.
Plan five sessions of about 45–55 minutes, plus 20–30 minutes of sustained reading most days. Adjust for comprehension and writing stamina; a unit may span several sessions. The parent may combine exam sessions to provide the full time stated on the paper.
Session 1 · Character change
Establish literal understanding before interpretation. Identify the speaker, event, and location; separate observed information from a later explanation. Use the linked unit method and the exact assigned text.
Your task
Compare Lanyon’s earlier position with his later refusal to discuss Jekyll.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
The refusal and visible change suggest a serious breach of prior assumptions. At this point the account does not yet authorize a full explanation; keep later testimony separate.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 2 · The window scene
Test a claim against a second relevant detail. Explain what each detail establishes, its scope, and any contradiction. In a language task, explain grammatical relationships and preserved meaning.
Your task
Analyze how the interruption at the window affects Utterson and the reader differently.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
The brief encounter gives alarming signs without a complete cause. Explain the narrowing access and abrupt termination rather than invent an unseen event.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 3 · A justified decision
Organize the response around the task and audience. Explain the evidence-to-claim relationship; a quotation or rule label alone is insufficient. Compare relevant functions rather than surface resemblance.
Your task
Evaluate Utterson’s decision to act with Poole using evidence available in The Last Night.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
The altered behavior, isolation, and fear support concern, while uncertainty remains about the person inside. Weigh action under incomplete evidence rather than demand hindsight certainty.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 4 · Order and suspense
Apply the method independently, then request specific feedback. Revise meaning, evidence, and organization before editing. Keep original and revised versions so the purpose of a change can be discussed.
Your task
Outline the crisis scene by changes in knowledge, delay, and discovery.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
A functional outline tracks reports, decision, entry, and discovered documents. Explain how postponing explanations maintains suspense after the immediate action.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 5 · A 300-word analysis
Check the published criteria and explain your reasoning. Record one specific next step supported by this week’s work. Use model guidance after the independent attempt, and keep unseen assessment answers closed.
Your task
Explain how the novella changes the meaning of protecting a friend’s reputation.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
Silence can appear loyal early and harmful as alarming evidence accumulates. Use two different moments and qualify the claim about when discretion becomes concealment.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.

Parent / teacher weekly conference
Ask the learner to name the information available before each choice. Separate ethical analysis from retrospective certainty.
- Ask the learner to show a precise reference or before/after draft and explain its significance.
- Evaluate comprehension, evidence, reasoning, and clarity separately; record the support needed.
- Agree on one concrete correction or next goal, and save the completed work in the portfolio.
